SPIRIT OF TUE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Having no particular interests to serve beyond those of tl* country at :hire, and being desirous, therefore, of holding an -evetihand between the extremes of party zeal upon all subjects, it is seldom that our views of public measures, -or of the • circumstances of the co untry;•'fallin With those either of the warm adher ents or opponents of Ministers,.. However credulous and sincere a few partisans on either side may be, the good sense of the country has long since begins to decry that " madness of many for the gain of a few," as what they see the folly and absurdity of falling into ; and the press, we think, is sadly tnis-employed when it attempts to administer to the over-eager exaggera tions of those who are either too sanguine or too gloomy in their views of public affairs. Truth, and truth alone, should be the object of every public writer ;, and though in the search of it he may not flatter thewarm or the despondent hopes of opposite factions, he will in the end best secure the sanction of the discerning and the good opinion of those whose sanction is disinterested, and worth possessing. The late announcemeot of the Quarter's Revenue is a topic of this description ; some part of the public Prost re presenting it as a token of actual ruin and desponden cy, while others hold it up . as a matter of absolute congratulation. To us it is neither the one nor the other. The deficieucy on the Quarter, and, in deed, on the whole year, is not greater than, under the circumstances of the country, we were led to ex pect ; but, at the same time, we think it is such as cannot be viewed with indifference by those who re collect what the public burdens amount to. The mere inatter'of comparison is, we think, carried to almost a puerile extent. Numerous articles of die Revenue must, front their very nature, vary very , widely, every year.. llops, for instance, are productive one year, and a Ailing crop the next; and many other articles may,: from venous causes, fall off, or exceed the amount of the preceding year, without furnishing any material topic or remark, or justifying anything like that dose degree of comparison, which the ingenuity of certain writers is for, ever exercising, so soon as the quarterly accounts carne forth from the Treasury.— Morning Herald. The understatement of the balance against the last quarter's revenue, as compared with the corresponding one 0r"1825,' was'a disgrace to the Treasury, whence it issued. 'We' exposed the deception on the day of its appearance, adducing the recorded fact of a draw back payment on the wine in store, to the amount of 1,050,000/. sterling, whish ought to have been ac knowledged without our interference, and credited to the October quarter of 1825. We were, according to custom, yelled at fbr this performance of a public duty, and the falsehood of our representation insi nuated; though it could not be directly denied. Now the truth is admitted on all hands, and in the teeth of the official doemnent published on the 10th instant, the cello'e of the last quarter's revenue stands within a trifle of 2,000,0001. of money. But it has been asked, " what proof' have you that the wine draw back came out of the October quarter ? We answer, that the proof is to he found An the Excise-office, whence regular notice was transmitted to the wine merchants, to attend there in the latter part of July, 1825, for the purpose' :sif receiving their money. It is further in - positive evideice' that no pail of the * lim ey was paid before that pertod, and that the whole of it was paid before the expiration of the October q uarter. This tti the actual tact., So w: l th respect to the corn, duties received within the last Octoli ,7, r ar ter. Certain persons aff i rm ed that none had uCell received. We assert that the denial is wholly untrue, and that our original allegation is the correct one. The foreign wheat, winch bad been bonded, was ad mitted to entry for home consumption, upon paying it duty of 12s. per quarter, and hat/that duty was made payable on or before th e gat of July. What became then of the other half? Why, it would, as a matter of course, come into the October quarter.

The fact is, that an experim ent is making at the k of all commercial people whatever, of the very saute kind as tbit at which the landholder is making such pother —by the admission of foreign articles, and with re spect to the British fundholder, he claims no pro tection whatever against the foreign market.

To Tau Famixon..—Sir,—As a constant reader, I beg to pro pose, and wish to see inserted in your valuable paper, a few ques time in relation to the corn laws. The sole end in proposing them is to induce as much as possitle a cool and impartial investi gation of the subject, without which any act of the Legislature will certainly prove injurious. I ask then, which of the two in terests is must important to the well-being of the country—the agricultural or the manufacturing? Has not the distress of the ,operations in the manufacturing districts arisen principally out of the measures which their masters have voluntarily and unwarily adopted ? Have the master manufacturers contributed, of the im mense fortunes they have amassed from the labour of the distrens ed, a due proportion for their present relief? If Government le gislate for the support of the distressed, does not justice and sound policy demand that the burden of their support should be equally divided among all classes ? Would it not be equally just to invade the property of the merchant or the fundhelder for this purpose, as to invade that of the landholder ? Can a reduction of rent be obtained front the owners of land, without first driving the oc cupiers from their employ, or mincing them to penury ? Is the present price of grain more than a remunerating one for the far mer's capital, skill, and industry ? Will not a legislative enact ment, lowering time price of corn, become an unjust and oppres sive measure, by operating upon one class of the community alone, to their utter ruin ?—Though your opinion, Sir, is fixed, 1 trust to your impartiality to insert the above, as many of your readers may yet wish for some assistance to extend their views and to lead them to a just conclusion. lam a friend to the principle of free trade, but ant convinced the experiment will be dangerous, and the measure if adopted disastrous, unless we have a free and ade gusto representation of the whole community in the Commons House of Parliament. 01- A CONSUMBR AND NOT A (MOWER OF CORN. Oct. 12, 1226. A Report or the Connaught Provisional Meeting of Catholics, held at Ballinasloe, on Sunday last, is, in many respects, deserving of attention. The Duke of Montebello and two other Frenchmen of distinc tion were present. The Duke's Speech is not the least singular part of the proceedings. It is quite an un derstood matter that there will be no more wars in Europe, and therefore we need not be in the least alarmed on account of the consequences which Mr. She'd pointed out as possible in Ireland, in case of a war between this country and some of the Continental Powers. But were we not assured of the impossibi- lity of any rupture between England and France, we should say that there was much in what he said de serving of very serious consideration. Mr. Shell states, and the experience of all revolutions justifies him, that should circumstances enable his countrymen to • attempt to recover their independence, with any hope of success, himself and the other men, who, looking to the ultimate issue, might endeavour to dis suade them from giving way to their feelings, would be, ninon; the first to all a sacrifice to popular fury. We ;Tree with him, that in the divided state of Ire land, no foreigu aid 'could possibly enable the Catholics to establish their intlependenea'by force of arms. But mat are 011110 at certain, males , fitvournble circumstances, the attempt would he male. The gentry, both Ca tholic and Protestant, have a deep interest in the eon , section between the two islands, which opens to them a ii tie field of ambition, both here and in the Colo nies; but the peasantry of Ireland and the priests, eruog from and related to the pe asa n tr y , and iden ttficd with them in feeling, are out of the reach of all influence of this sort, and would, no doubt, listen only .to the desire of vengeance, regardless' of the wishes and interests of the gentry. Were reli gion only concerned, the settlement of Ireland would present few difficulties. ' Unfortunately, there is pro property at issue, and the Aristocra c y of En g land and Ireland have taken it into their heads, that the settle ment of religious differences, might, in some way or other, come ultimately to affect the Church property. They have an idea, that so long as the Exclusion Laws are continued, the same thing will happen to the rich Catholics that happens to the Dissenters—the rich will, in nine cases out of ten, go over to the Esta blished Church ; but that were the professors of both religions to be equal in the eye of the law, there would not be the Same motive for the conversion of the rich Catholics, and thus the Protestant Church would, in time, see a great part of the landed property of the country in the hands of the Catholics. Facts, in some degree, bear theta Mit. Mr. Cook, the Moderator of the Synod of Ulster, eteted, in his evidence, that it was a eommon saying in Belfast, that when a man first came to that town, lie frequented an Old Light Meet ing-house ; when be was able to keep a gig, lie fre quented a New Light Meeting-house ; .and when he kept his carriage, he went over teethe Established Church. In this country we see the Quakers, as soon as they become wealthy, go over to the Establish meat--WitOCAN the Gilmer, the Barclays, &e. It is the same with the Dissenters. Among the Catho lics, a few old families, from a sort of pride rather than religion ' because it is the , oldest. But it is otherwise with the novi heroines, Thus we ob serve, that a candidate for the City of Cork, O'Cal highan, whose family are Catholics, has dropt the 0, Slit the guttural combination of consonants, and become Protestant. The English and Irish Aristo cracy arc afraid, that if the landed prop ad erty should not be nearly all on Alts side of the Establishment, the Church of Ireland might tiee(OtP fairly extinet then thus the only condition on. which tithiestoc,ttiii:old C b a e ti c io o lr con tinued, would be the trensfe rrin g . Church. But this would be equivalent to renouncing it would not look for . the hope of benefiting by t h em ; well to have one son educated for the Catholic Church and another for The Proustont— to have one son Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, read Ilnother Protestant Bishop of DUrinn. Religious quarrels are soon appeased, when the cause of cont 'er merely the . next world, but it i s quite anoth ention is affair when such serious concerns as tithes and church lands t are in question. In Germany , whor e the State left Protestant and Catholic Churches equ all y destitute of . the fuel of aniinosity, the members of the two The gloat live on the best tonne with each other. _ warm Church , f tl r i tiquently serves for both, and the Pi 0- 4cr upte to borrLs"aralrtneonft iiiiilsatel) versa. worth 50,000/. Um, had there been B' I ''' ' s in German 13 10prIC , fiercely as in Englau I o i i s o - Ii b scanty,oti rsnaliallc,,es no religious zeal 1 ' 4 elear, and Livings worth Io,ooot would have continue— to - burn as influence of interest ' ' o • •'• • • e in quieting as well us inflanun,, religious animosities • r Ireland. To show the , we may notice one eiiman -- s tance which powerfully contributes . to reconcile Catholics and Protestants to each other, Toward the middle of last, century the system of prohibition of Protestant books in the Catholic States of Germany began to be relaxed, and it was understood that books not offensive to the religion of the Catholics, the pro duction of Protestant writers, and printed in Protest ant States, might be sold in Austria, Bavaria, Wurtz burg, &c. When Protestant writers found that the indulgence of abuse might be attended with the incon venience of confining the circulation of their works to ten or twelve millions of people, instead of twenty-five millions, and, consequently, lowering the price of copy rights, they became all at once exceedingly courteous to those who differed with them in matters of religion. Instead of the rancorous abuse of each other's religion, in which it had been customary for Catholic and Pro testant writers to indulge, as in this country, they be gan to see only each other's good qualities. But to return to the meeting at Ballmasloe, we rejoi'oe to see the spirit with which the Catholics arc proceeding.-- They may rest assured that, so long as they remain patient, we will remain patient. The only chance they have of obtaining emancipation, is by making it de sirable to the Protestant Aristocracy of the two coun tries, that they should obtain it. The rebellion of the freeholders has done more for them than all the ora tions ever delivered in their favour by the most bril liant orators whom the sacred cause of religious liberty ever yet fired.—Morning Chronicle. ' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. --A stockbroker of respectability, named Stewart, was summoned before the Loan Maxon to answer the charge of having obtained sums of money to the amount of 630/. from a young gentleman, who holds an office in the East India house. Each party bid a solicitor in attendance. The Secretary to the Managers of the Stock Exchange stated, in answer to questions from the complainant's solicitor, that the defendant was not a member of the Stuck Exchange, and that he had never been one. He did not know whether the defendant had ' ever applied to be admitted. A person who wished for admission must be recommended by two persons, and have a notice posted to that effect. Nothing of that kind had taken place with respect to the defendant. Mr. Holden—But he might be a broker, without belonging to the Stock Exchange. Defendant's Solicitor—That is precisely the case, and as re spectable a man as any on the Stock Exchange. Mr. G. P. Williams, the complainant, stated, that he was a clerk in the India House. He became acquainted with the stock briiker by an introduction from the clerk of the latter. Witness went to him in March last, to have business transacted for him in the funds. He had a wish to make an operation. in the funds for the April account, what was called a time bargain,and he therefore employed the defendant. On the Sth of March he gave to d fendant.'so/., on the same day M. more, on the 10th 1001., on the 11th 213/. on the 12th 871., and on the 18th 35/. Part of this amount 'bad been given to the defendant's clerk, and the whole had been given as deposits on the speculation in the funds. The pefendant—l admit the,receipt of all the sums, without hesitation. The transaction was a perfectly correct one, as 1 can prove. The Complainant's Solicitor—Where was the last transaction of the SU entered into? . Complainant—He dims! with me that day, and we went to the theatre together, but to which I do not know, and we made the bargain in the saloon. It wan a bargain of " put and call." The complainant's attorney here produced what he said was the account of the bargain transaction. He declared that it was no account at all. There were none of those particulars which a man must expect in a pectiniary transaction—no names of the persons supposed to have been concerned were mentioned, neither was there any thing like correctness in the items. In. fact, the trans action appeared to ben most suspicions one, and it was obligatory upon the defendant to produce' his proofs that be had dealt uprightly , . . The Loan Mayoi,,after having looked over the account, an, shaken hie head at it, said, that the transaction was altogether ►lle gal ; hut it WAR a th►ng of constant m artice, and those, who made titna latrgaina were fully aware of the illegality of what they were about. 'file complainant's' solicitor said, that h 1• would not press thin utattet; were it not that the transaction was rpritot nut of the'way of doing businem. flit then pointed out what appeared to hint to be gross inconsistencies in the account, but which, as they were not publicly 'exhibited, we shall not attempt to describe. The Loan MAYOR admitted that the account appeared to be destitute of that particularity which belonged to accounts in trans actions of a different nature, lie did not, however, see how this case could be called an obtaining of money under hilse represen tations. _Jut complainant's solicitor stated, that there wits not a single price in the account corresponding with the day's price in Weten hall'a list, which, it was well known, was recognised in the Court . of Chancery. , The defendant's solicitor declared, that:the complainant had had full opportunity of aseertainbit whether the most honourable con duct had not been adopted towards him. The names of the per sons concerned in the tenable were given to him, end he might have easily learned from Unlit all the particulars of the transaction. In answer to questions from the defendant's solicitor, the com plainant said he had never looked at the names, nor asked who thoy were,. He had made no inquiries of the kind. - The Loan MAvou—The transaction is, we all know, an illegal one. I must say that this account is a most 'unsatisfactory one, and that it is the duty of a broker, where a sum of money is con cerned, to be the nmst particular in his accounts, whether the bar gains be time bargains or net. • Mr. nobler—ln iltebal transactions of this kind the names of parties - are not given by brokers, elcept tile correctness of the dealing is questioned. • ' The Loan MAvoa said, that the defendant eould have no ob jection to fornish.a detailed account under the circumstances.. Defendant's solicitor—We have. Stated the hours when the busi ness was done. Inquiry can be made into the dealing. The Loan Moot—This is not satisfactory regarding so large a sum as between 500/. and 600/. Complainant's tipliciler---4t is far from satisfactory, my Lord. The eemniainant is a mere boy, and he has in this sort of business lost upwards of 900/. One of these bargains was made in the saloon of the theatre. Itt it not a most scandalous transaction ? Besides, tide defendant is not entitled,to act on the Stock Exchange. The Loan MAYOR--Tor God's, sake, lies be no friends to give him advice, to prevent him from engaging, in things of this de- vice mcription ? The complainant, who appeared. to be about . 21 years of age, and quite unable to deal with men of mar experience, looked silly, and said nothing. Ilis Lordship said that it was melancholy to ace a young man destroying hi s p ro p er ty in such a manner. The complainant's solicitor said that a threat had been mule to arrest his client after the account was dosed. The complainant . --Yes, after our account was closed the de &Meat came to me', and said that he would put 'a bailiff into the house. if I did not pay the difference. There was a person with him, who, he said, w as th e per son concerned. The defemlatit's soli c it or s t a ted that his client's character stood . too high to be affe c t e d b y w h at m ight be said at random. The Loan Mavna told the complainant, that the defendant would furnish him with a detailed aciount of the several dealings, and that he (complainant) might regulate his conduct with respect to the case accordi ng l y , BOW-STREET.—.Yesterday a young man, a native of Scot land' named -"old Mackenzie, was charged, by Moses Phillips, one of the old clothes-dealers in Hollywell-etreet, with an attempt to defraud him of a very necessary garment, to wit, a pair of inex. prmoffiles, value 10 s . The complainant state d, t h at t he defendant came into his shop, and asked to are a p a i r of trousers , sod after showing him several in every particular, with the of the description ho required, he fixed upon a pair, tell " he as ta k il e z d if l t e h av ey e itt4dlaw on in the complainant'a back parlour, to ewer trilling exce p tion of bein g a few inelrisseetes.Patsfie'd‘ However, the your Worship knows, to a p r o tiinegtlee:: and faulta it was r d nihno id ettyle n vumi ci t t ylitst i e l d i business,e se isiv f , perceive. lie asked me the price, and told him lOs." " Very well, " said he, putting a crown into my hand; " yin owl me be. these 15 months, and now we are clear." li e was then going to 'walk off, continued Moses, but I caught him-fast PY the skirt of his coat, and gave him in charge of an officer, " And where," said,Nle. Ni 11461 0 14, after joining in the mer riment occasioned by the Jew's' complaint, "where are the trou sers now ; has he restored theni to you ?" " No such thing, your WorshipranswPreil Moses, eagerly, "he will not give them-up ;he has them *a on him. He s ays I n Wel money, but I haven() knowledge of ever having seen him before. Donald Mackenzie th en e xclaimed, that about a year and thre e the complainant to purc ha " . 11100 . the age he went into the shopof a coat, and not having sufficient money about him at the time, aq left 50. in the hands of Moses as a deposit for a coat, telling him that he should call in,a few dayi to complete the purchase. He was prevented, however, by some accident, from calling on the Jew until some weeks after, when the latter denied all knowledge of his person, and refused either to let him have the coat for which he bargained, or the sum which he had paid as a deposit. " I called on him repeatedly," continued Donald, " and even offered to take a second-hand - waistcoat for the 55., hat he only laughed at my claim : so finding that I could do nothing with him by fair means, I thought I would joost wait a wee, and try and get my ain." Mr..MINSPIULL, however, decided that Donald was not justifi ed in the course which he had taken, and he accordingly directed him to divest himself of the trousers, and restore them to the Jew, advising him at the same time to summon the latter to the Court of Requests, for the ss. which he alleged to have paid him on former occasion. Poor Donald, who had flattered himself that possession, ac cording to the old proverb, was nine points of the law, seemed right loth to disincumber his person of the disputed garment, for which, notwithstanding • the slight defect noticed by the Jew, he seemed to entertain a fond regard. He, however, bowed to the decision of the Magistrate, and withdrew to the back of the office to restore to their legal owner the article in question. It was announced in the 'course of yesterday by Ledbeater the officer, that Mr. Charles Grindell, whose name has recently ap peared in connection with a:case of assault of more than ordinary ordinary interest, has been visited since his committal to prison !)y symptoms of insanity, and he is said to be now under the care of two medical gentlemen, who concur in opinion that his intel lects are disordered. The health of the elder Mr. Grindell re mains unimpaired, with the exception of a sensible diminution of his powers of vision, which his attendant Dr. Mitchell attributes to the *baking he received while under the control of the persons by whom he was forcibly removed to Tunbridge Wells. His niece Mrs. Grindell is far from being recovered from the effects of the rough usage which she suffered. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Abraham Cohen charged - - - two gentlemen's servants with robbing him of a watch and a so vereign. It appeared that the conscientious Israelite bad been trying to deceive them by a bargain, but was himself deceived by a bet. The watch was given up, and the cue dismissed. HATTON-GARDEN—Joseph Moore was charged with the following robbery : Mr. J. Carpenter, a goldsmith, of Perceval-street, Clerken well, stated, that the prisoner was his apprentice, and had been with him nearly two years, during which time he, prosecutor, had repeatedly missed quantities of gold, and other things, and suspicion attaching itself to sorne of the workmen, they were, at different times, discharged. About a week since, he received information from a tradesman in Spital-fields, that the prisoner had been there offering sonic gold for sale, on two dif ferent occasions, and that he had no doubt he was robbing him. In consequence of this information, he gave some gold to the pri- sonar to work up, and on the same evening sent for an officer to take him into custody. Davies, a constable, searched the prisoner and found gold, amounting to 1/. 15e. The gold was identified by Mr. Carpen, ter. The prisoner was committed for trial. Three well-known characters, named Powell, Edwards, and Harris, alias Walker, were charged with stealing a quantity of stamps; to the amount of between six and seven pounds, from the shop of Mr. Benson, a stationer, in the King's-road. Several other charges being expected to be brought against them, they were remanded. THE MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current, of Friday.) SuaAu.--The holders of Museovades submitted to a tirther reduction of price on Tuesday last of 6d. to le. . . per cwt. , The decline had a favourable effect on the Market, the purchases were considerable. The limited demand for Muscovades during the week' appears to-day to be suspended on account of the large. quantity of St. Lucia Sugars declared for public sale this forenoon ; it consisted of 365 hhds. 120 tees. and '77, brls. of a fair quality St. Lucia, the whole sold; the inferior qualities rather lower, the others without alteration; damp at 50s. a 515.; the dry at our lowest quotation, which is now the settled price for free browns • some fine quality sold so high as 655. The average daily purchases this week, in cluding the public sale, arc about 700 Idyls. The redus tion of the prices of 'Refined goods attracted the attention of the buyers ' • the grocers and exporters have , purchased largely, anti the small accumulatiou of stock has been again cleared off ; no Lumps or Molasses are offered under our quotations. There is little alteration in the Refined Mar ket to-day ; the wholesale grocers appear to purchase on a limited scale, but only at low prices; the • shippers make inquiries, but therels no life in the trade. Molasses are in more demand. In Foreign Sugars there is no alteration. COFFEE.-The Public sales this' week have gone off heavily; on Tuesday a slight decline was perceptible, since which the Market has been languid, but without any further reduction in the currency ; St. Domingo fine ord. taken in at 50s. Gd., and for parcels of much colour 515.; for the former we believe .50s. was offered and refused. Previous to the public sales to-day there appeared an evi dent improvement in the demand for Coffee by private contract; large parcels of Brazil were purchased at 495. Gd.; ,fine ordinary St. Domingo at 50s. 6d., and very fine 5 Is. The Peblic 'Sale to-day 282 casks, five bags Ja maica, sold heavily at full prices. At a late hour the re quest for Coffee was rather 'extensive; above 600 bags, were sold by private contract chiefly; Brazil 48s. a 508. Otis.--The ships which have arrived froM the Green land Fisheries appear to' be pretty . well fished, and the re ports of the others arc more favourable ; the consequence is, that Oils are exceedingly heavy. Greenland for arrival, offered freely at 341., and no buyers. Spermaceti and Seed Oils are little varied. COTTON.-The Cotton Market is without alteration. The purchases for the week ending last night inclusive, are-400 Surat, sd. a •Sid; 110 BenOls, 4d. aJg r3(1.,• 54 Para, 81; 41)0 Egyptian, 70. a 71d. littsit PaovlstoNs.---Beef and Pork are heavy, but without any further reduction in prices.

INDIOO.-T - here was a further advance on Monday at the India House of 4d. a 6d. per lb.; since which the market has receded in the same proportion. At the doss of this day's sale, the prices of Indigo were a s nearly as possible, at the currency o f thi s d ay week, the market having receded nearly in proportion to the advance obtain ed on Monday.
